Want to travel to the heart of the Mediterranean without leaving Paris? Head for Chez Zena, a Lebanese restaurant in the 18th arrondissement, offering family-style cuisine with intoxicating flavors. It's the perfect place to get away from it all, while enjoying a delicious meal!

Fancy some Mediterranean sunshine without leaving the capital? Head to Chez Zena, a Lebanese restaurant in the 18th arrondissement, between the Anvers and Pigalle metro stations, to discover its tasty, home-style cuisine! From the moment you enter, the many intoxicating flavors take you straight to Lebanon.

We sit down at the table and have a chat with the owners. They explain that everything here is homemade, just like at home. The menu is packed with specialties: hummus, moutabal, baba ghanouj, labné, samboussek, falafel, kebbé... The best of Lebanese cuisine at your fingertips! You can have lunch or dinner on site, as well as takeaway dishes and shawarmas, or have them delivered, as you wish.

A cuisine we were able to try out. For starters and main courses, an assortment of different mezze: falafel, kebbé, rakakat with cheese, fettouch (salad of young shoots and pomegranate seeds), baba ghanouj (eggplant caviar with pomegranate seeds) and hummus, among others. Simple, no-fuss dishes, as full of sunshine as they are full of love. We love it! For dessert, an assortment of baklawas accompanied by mahalabia, a kind of flan with sugar syrup (scented with rose) and pistachios. The perfect way to end a meal on a high note.
